Summary:

Reduces 3DFACE objects to lines. This is particularly useful when using the GSA Export facility.

 

Description:

AutoCAD can explode a mesh down to 3DFACE objects but cannot explode the 3D faces any further. Face Explode deals with this problem by exploding the faces to line elements corresponding to the edges of the faces. If two 3D faces are adjacent, i.e. have a common edge, only one line will be generated for this edge by the routine.
